I have been watching and talking with Bobby for a few years now and I honestly feel he is one of the most naturally talented riders in the paddock. We feel confident that with the proper preparation he will be a championship contender next season."

"I’m very excited about the new team and am looking forward to unloading at Daytona with the expectation of winning!" said Fong. "My concentration this off season will be on training and testing. I’m thankful to Richie and Dave for believing in me and am looking forward to working with my new crew!"
